Habit is what keeps you going." -Jim Ryun ![]() Thursday - the cold weather continues, but toward evening, expect some sun breaks. Friday - the weather begins to warm as the clouds continue to diminish. High 40, low 30. Saturday - the warming trend is expected to continue. Lows are expected to be above freezing, Highs near 50. Sunday - the strange temperature increase continues. Expect highs approaching 60, lows in the mid-40's. Monday - get out the warm weather clothing! High 65, low 50. Tuesday - the temperatures just keep moving up! Afternoon cloud cover should help give some relief as the highs stay below 75. Expect a low of 55. Wednesday - Tornado watch is in effect, as conditions are perfect for the destructive twisters to form. High 78, low 65. ![]() Neas has expanded the arcade!!! There is now a page 2 full of fun games to play. Check it out and see if you can get yourself the first place crown. Lord Tothe started up a book club for the region. Check it out and give a mention for books you think your fellow AWPers should give a look. The position of Minister of Immigration is open. For details on the position be sure to ask Neas any questions you may have and he'll be sure to get back to you. Ideas on ways to improve the forums are always appreciated. If you have any ideas be sure to cantact Neas or any other member of government. The RDF is always looking for people who may be interested in getting in on the military side of things. Contact Numero Capitan, the Minister of Defence, if your interested and/or have any questions. The Immigration Department can always use more recruiters, a very important job indeed. If your interested in becoming a recruiter or have any questions contact Neas or Numero Capitan. ![]() International Measurements Act A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce. Category: Free Trade Strength: Significant Proposed by: Cobdenia Description: The United Nations, REALISING that lack of weight and measurement standardisation is a major concern for importers and exporters, FURTHER REALISING that such a lack of standisation can impede the flow of scientific research, BELIEVING, therefore, that a standard for weights and measurements is required, UNDERSTANDING, however, that one system of measurement, whilst appropriate in some circumstances, may be inappropriate and otherwise unusable in other circumstances, FURTHER UNDERSTANDING that other measurement systems may be of cultural signifigance for certain member states, The United Nations, hereby: 1) ESTABLISHES the Bureau of Measurements and Weights (BMW), 2) COMMISIONS the BMW to create a standard for all weights and measurements, and warrants the BMW to decide which unit is to be used under what circumstances. This will include, but is not limited to: a) Metric weights and measures for use on consumer products, scientific calculations (where appropriate), and roadway signage; b) The Parsec and related measures for astrophysical calculations (where appropriate); c) The Nautical Mile and related measures for aerial and nautical navigational (where appropriate) d) Bits, octets, bytes and related units for electrical information storage e) Other measurements systems for other circumstances as deemed appropriate by the BMW 3) MANDATES that all labelling, roadsigns, scientific papers, navigation charts, and other items requiring notation of this ilk, display the unit system as deemed appropriate for said item by the BMW clearly. This does not preclude the use of alternative measurements on such items as long as the BMW sanctioned unit is also displayed, 4) FURTHER ENCOURAGES that the measurement system(s) as authorised by the BMW be used primarily in educational instruction to encourage familiarity, but not precluding the teaching of other systems should a nation deem it necessary Votes For: 4,527 Votes Against: 1,327 [Delegate Votes] Voting Ends: Fri Mar 21 2008 ![]() The Barren Grass Filled Empire of Cow herders "As Cold and Hard as Flint!" UN Category: Democratic Socialists Civil Rights: Some Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: Below Average Location: 00000 A World Power Regional Influence: Duckspeaker The Barren Grass Filled Empire of Cow herders is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 2.123 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 92%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries. The government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, the government is seen to favor Catholics, and child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cow herders's national animal is the male heifer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the bottles of spirovac.

Good work! |
| "Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." ~ Robert A. Heinlein | |
